RUNNING SKYLITE IN A WEB BROWSER
APPENDIX B
MSM-Specific Issues - Multi Session Manager
If sessions are active and the Web browser is closed, then MSM will initiate the session
within the normal SkyLite container. When sessions are controlled by MSM in this way
(external to the browser), they can occasionally take up to 20 seconds to close, giving the
appearance that SkyLite has hung - the hourglass pointer is the only indication.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Web-enabled version of SkyLite be used for Internet access
to host systems?
Yes. But remember that remote Internet clients will need a copy of the Web-enabled
version of SkyLite installed on their PCs. SkyLite works on the basis that the requested
session file is downloaded to the PC by the browser, which in turn invokes the SkyLite
application. It is not always feasible to download this SkyLite across the Internet, even
though it is one of the smallest executables available today.
What environment is the Web-enabled version of SkyLite best suited
for?
The Web-enabled version of SkyLite has been designed primarily for use within intranets
for organizations that need to integrate intranet information and systems with host legacy
systems. It is designed to seamlessly integrate with Web browsers so that these
organizations need only support one common user interface to their varied and multiple
information sources. The Web-enabled version of SkyLite can be installed on a LAN file
server for common access by multiple users or installed on each individual client PC.
Which Web browser can I use with this SkyLite?
This SkyLite can be used with Microsoft's Internet Explorer - we recommend Version 4.0
or later. It can also be used with Netscape's Navigator and Communicator browsers, in
conjunction with the nCompassLabs DocActive plug-in that is available from Jenzabar.
